[Beta][Bug] Public share link option is missing in ZimaOS Files #556

Description

@manuavanca

What happened?

The option to share files or folders through a public web link is not available in the ZimaOS Files interface.
I have ZimaOS Remote Access enabled, but when I select a file or folder, the public share link option does not appear in the context menu or among the available actions.
I also have my own domain managed through Cloudflare. My goal is to share selected files or folders externally through a secure browser-accessible link, preferably using my domain or the ZimaOS Remote Access service.
I do not want to share the files through SMB or Samba. SMB/Samba is useful for local network access, but it does not replace the public link-sharing feature that I need.
Steps to reproduce
Open the ZimaOS dashboard.
Open the Files application.
Select any file or folder.
Open the context menu or available actions.
Look for an option to create a public share link.
Actual behavior
There is no option to create or copy a public web link for the selected file or folder.
The only available alternatives appear to be local network sharing methods, such as SMB/Samba, which do not meet this use case.
Expected behavior
An option such as “Share”, “Share Link” or “Create Public Link” should be available.
This option should allow the user to:
Generate a browser-accessible link for a selected file or folder.
Share the link with someone outside the local network.
Optionally protect the link with a password.
Optionally define an expiration date.
Use ZimaOS Remote Access or a custom domain managed through Cloudflare.
Revoke the shared link when it is no longer needed.
Environment
ZimaOS version: v1.7.0
Remote Access: Enabled
ZimaOS subscription: Plus
Custom domain: Managed through Cloudflare
Tested on: Multiple computers and browsers
Troubleshooting already attempted
Tested on two different computers.
Tested using different browsers.
Cleared the browser cache.
Confirmed that Remote Access is enabled.
Confirmed that files and folders can be accessed normally.
Checked the available actions and context menus.
Confirmed that SMB/Samba sharing is not the intended solution.
The issue does not appear to be related to the browser, cache or computer being used.
Could you please confirm whether public link sharing:
Was removed from ZimaOS;
Was temporarily disabled;
Was moved to another section;
Requires an additional configuration;
Or is currently affected by a bug in v1.7.0-beta1?
I specifically need public file and folder sharing through a web link, not local network access through SMB or Samba.
